Steve,
First of all thanks for posting these really cool images along with your excellent commentary. You are right those crossing crater rays look just great as do the dark craters.If Aristarchus and Herodotus were not in the close up of Oceanus Procellarum, you could probably convince me this is a spacecraft photo of Mars. Fabulous post under tough conditions.

Frank, thanks for the extremely kind words. It's amazing what RegiStax will pull out for detail!
Does anyone know the source of the crossing crater rays? I'm awaiting the arrival of my own copies of the Rukl atlas and Modern Moon and none of the other lesser maps I have identify much in that region beyond a few of the bigger craters.
**UPDATE: LPOD to the rescue! The crater is Glushko. See this shot on LPOD: http://www.lpod.org/?p=505 The crater apparently was also formerly named Olbers A. My Hatfield Atlas does show Glushko in one frame but poorly and VMA lists it as Olbers A.
**
Clear skies.

Nine pages of observations, sketches, images, and camaraderie out of one lunation.
I think this worked out pretty well.

The lunation number? The source is discussed in the third post of this thread. I first picked up on the idea here.
